Does "Unix System IV" exist? It seems that they jumped from System III to System V.

@vermaden I have no idea how old are you ( :-) ) but I have never used System V.

Taught a tutorial based on "Run Your Own Mail Server" today at BSDCan.

The book's on Kickstarter right now. You already get five books for $15, and we're fast closing on perhaps the most unspeakable stretch goal I have ever offered.

@mwl its a great tactic. I stated reading you books after watching the openbsd webstack from some bsd conf.

The Mastodon developers started to implement telemetry for everything you search for: Posts, Accounts, Tags

https://github.com/glitch-soc/mastodon/commit/acc77c3836974473e7c6a423cbd1138479ae197a

I'm not so sure if I like what I see in this commit. But we all knew it would be coming eventually.

So important that we build Mastodon-compatible server alternatives.

@louis about time they ruin it. They are vc backed after all.

@louis putting ads aside, since it’s Ruby, removing it from our instance is easy peasy

Oh no. We will be subjected to PAM by @mwl

The #Apple trap: "You have used 2048GB in your 2TB iCloud Family plan. Please upgrade to the 6TB plan for only $35/month so your wife and kids can store even more useless selfie-videos." 🍎 😠

mastodon is not. Why assume GIGANTIC images all the time?

@dekkzz76 it's 9:37AM an you are already making me sad? ?:)

@dekkzz76 I agree.

publicvoit, 21 days ago to reddit

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent #Atom/ #RSS aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

@saint @publicvoit where do I sign up?

I will similarly spin "History of Unix" into a dedicated subpage with its own layout. The biggest risk: I may need to commission graphics.

@holgerschurig never used it, will try. I was thinning of mermaid.js :-)

I am also spending way too much time and energy on mastodon

mms, 22 days ago

@joel maybe my instance is more liberal and that’s why I just learned that there is a rate limit :-)

mms, 21 days ago

@louis @jnv @joel come for the knowledge, stay for the jokes. Mwl is a funny guy :-)

I’ve noticed that I follow a lot of folks with websites and I have not subscribed to them. My bad!

If you start seeing traffic from gwene.org, that’s me :-)
